The murder trial of Robert Durst will resume next month after a yearlong delay, a judge ruled on Monday, which just happens to also be the eccentric real estate heir’s 78th birthday. A judge denied a motion made by Durst’s attorneys seeking a mistrial due to the “extreme delay” caused by the pandemic. Instead, the trial will resume on May 17. Jurors had heard six days of testimony before the trial was postponed last March. Robert Durst, the real-estate heir and subject of the HBO docuseries “The Jinx” that aired recorded audio of him seeming to confess to killings, has pleaded not guilty for the 2000 murder of Susan Berman.
